Provincial highways in Alberta
Highway 17 is a highway in Canada that straddles and criss-crosses the Alberta–Saskatchewan provincial boundary. The portion from the provincial boundary at Dillberry Lake Provincial Park to the provincial boundary 0.8 kilometres (0.5 miles) north of the North Saskatchewan River is designated Alberta Provincial Highway No. 17 by Alberta Transportation, commonly referred to as Highway 17.
Highway 17 is considered a part of both provincial highway systems. The entire length of the highway is maintained jointly by the respective provincial governments.
In the south, Highway 17 begins in Saskatchewan (SK) at SK Highway 14 near Macklin, 3.6 km (2.2 mi) east of Alberta (AB). SK Highway 14 is the continuation of AB Highway 13.
The highway first enters Alberta before reaching Dillberry Lake Provincial Park. A short distance later, it intersects with AB Highway 610 and SK Highway 680 before reaching AB Highway 14, which becomes SK Highway 40. For 2.5 km (1.6 mi), Highway 17 runs east concurrently with AB Highway 14. The concurrency ends 0.8 km (0.50 mi) shy of the provincial boundary.
